The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1887-10-30
NOTES.

FRANK MAYO's return TO Salt Lake
has been deferred
RosINA VoKEs and her company come
to the Theatre next month.
THERE is talk of the Careless Operate
Company going to work this winter or
the Mascotte.
SEvENTY-FIvE thousand dollars are
the figures claimed for the Booth-Bar-
rett engagement in Chicago. There
were in all twenty-one performances.
LEWIS MORRISON is now apparently al
the top of the heap again, his name ap.
pearing this week as associate manager
of the new California Theatre Stock
Company, with Al. Hayman as princi-
pal. In the company are Jean Clara
Walters and Miss Morrison.
JENNIE LIND-GoLDsMITH is in critica
condition, and according to London
dispatch, her death may be expected al
any moment. 1t is just forty years ago
since she made her appearance in Lon
don as Alice, in Robert lie Diable. Her
age is about Is, and of late she has been
deprived of the power of speech.
MRS. JAMES Brown POTTER opens in
New York tomorrow night, and
though She is only queen. of society
who was the first to dare to recite
Ostler Joe in public, the opening seems
to be the event of the season on two
continents. The auction sale for the
choice of seats alone brought $4,000.
EMELIE MELVILLE recently appeared
in round of standard comedies at the
B jou Opera House in Melbourne, and
though the season was not particularly
profitable, owing to queer management,
the former comedy faVorite of the Cali
fornia Theatre scored an artistic
triumph. At present "Our Emie" is
following in the immediate footsteps
of her illuStrouS mamma, and is giving
vocal and dramatic instruction in Mel
bourne.
The Music d Drama, which is to the
west what the New York Mirror is to
the east in the eyes of professionals,
comes to US enlarged to six pages. Its
success shows that there is sufficient
interest in theatricals on the coast after
all, to warrant the issue of q journal
devoted to the profession. A dozen or
so San Francisco dramatic papers have
been stranded trying to prove this fact,
but it seems to have been reserved for
Mr.. Jack Thrum to demonstrate.
THE SPECIAL performance of As in q
Looking Glass, which Mrs. Lantry has
generously volunteered to give for the
benefit of the Actors Fund. will take
place on Tuesday afternoon at the Fifth
Avenue. The sale of seats has already
been large, and the affair promises to
De a huge success. Among the profes-
SIGNALS who have volunteered their
services as ushers are Kyrie Bellew, Os-
mond Tearle, Herbert Kelcey, Louis
Massen, Alexander Salvini, Henry Mil
Ter, Courtice Pounds and H. J. Leth-
court New York Herald.
Mr.. Abbey is happy and confident.
Yes" he said. lighting cigsc, Mime.
Gerster sails the beginning of next
month to make her first appearance in
four years. She Is now in Paris, and
connoisseurs write me her voice is what
it always was-pure and lovely beyond
compare. The prospects are all that |
can wish. IhaYe pretty good instinct
for these matters, and l can feel that
the public is even more anxious again
to greet Nine. Gerster than it was to
see and hear Nine. Nilsson upon her
return some years ago. Should the
public express g desire to see Nine.
Gerster in opera l will either effect
combination or secure additional ar
lists on the other side. 1t is not certain
yet whether Signor De Anna will be the
baritone of the company If not, why
Signor Del Puente will take his place.
Besides these Bjorksten will for the
present be the tenor and Madam
Hastreiter the contralto, Herr Neuen-
doFff will lead the orchestra, but an
Italian musician will, of course accom-
pany Nine. Gerster.-N, Y. Herald.
